CartoVistaRemembrance Day is a day of remembrance in the Commonwealth and European countries. The day of November 11 was not chosen by coincidence, it is, indeed, the day of the signing of the armistice of 1918 which ended the First World War. Many ceremonies take place around the world, including the use of poppies, as a symbol of remembrance of those who died in the war. For this reason, CartoVista has decided to present a map on the subject in collaboration with Veterans Affairs of Canada. This map is based on two main themes:
Memorials in Canada
This theme maps all the memorials in Canada, thanks to a database generously provided by Veterans Affairs Canada. You will be able to see the photos, the locations, find a precise description and even use the Street View tool to walk around.
Memorials Abroad
The second theme focuses on memorials dedicated to Canada’s heroes abroad. Whether they are cemeteries, memorials, or battlefields, you will find descriptions, explanations on the conflict and photos of these places which are mainly in Europe (France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, etc.) and in Asia (Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea).
